Toshiba external HDD PX1267E-1G32 not recognized

I have two hard drives of the same kind (px1267E-1G32) and they were working prefectly, but suddently they both didn't work on my computer anymore. I tried it on other devices but it's not working at all: theres no sound of the engine anymore when I switch it on, but the light of the power supply turns on.
On the computer there is sometimes the sound that something has plugged in, but then I don't see it neither on the device manager (i think this it is in English- i don't know it for sure because I'm only Austrian ;) ) or on my computer -in german "arbeitsplatz"- and then after a short period of time the sound of Plugging-out chimes
I've looked it up in other Threads and on other webpages, but nothing has helped me.....
What shall i do?

hey Xardas
i don't see it there (i ment this with device manager...i haven't known the correct name for it :) )
but the cable worked yesterday (the last time) and i haven't moved it one nanometer ^^ and the engine normally works when you turn it on (even if it's not plugged in the computer...) but there's no sound (you normally hear that) and theres only sometimes a "Klick" and that's it....
and the problem is only with these two HDD of the same kind...the other ones i have are working on the computer...so i think thats a problem with the HDDs, but how to solve it?

  • Will external HDD PX1267E-1G32 works on Mac?

    Does anybody know if the PX1267E-1G32 external HDD will work on Mac OS X? It only states that it works on a PC, but I've never had any problem with other external drives. Thank you.

    Hi
    Its a 320GB HDD! As far as I know this HDD contains some applications and software which are compatible only with the Windows OS.
    But Im not 100% sure.
    A long time ago I have tested one and after connecting to the notebook the popup message appeared and I had to enter the standard password which was provided in the user manual.
    Maybe this little tool runs only with Win OS.
    Why you don't ask your HDD dealer for an test.

  • My toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it. I have the preferences checked to show icon and have checked utilities folder. nothing. Help!

    I have a iMac, Yosemite 10.10 and my toshiba external hard drive is not being recognized, except when I eject it!. I have the preferences checked to show icons and have looked in the utilities folder..nothing. I have also changed ports. ??

    A few things to try:
    1-Repair permissions and restart your computer.
    2-Zap the PRAM
    3-Use Software Update/App Store to update your OS to OS 10.10.3.  Also, update everything SU/AS has to offer for your computer.  When done, repair permissions and restart your computer. 

  • Re: Satellite L550-129 doens't support Toshiba external HDD

    Toshiba Satellite L550-129 doens't support Toshiba external hdd store.e canvio.
    Al other thosiba laptops in the familie work with the store.e canvio and a lot of older coputers?????

    If your external HDD is not recognized, then this can be caused by low power supply from USB port or its simply an software issue.
    The Toshiba page http://www.toshiba-multimedia.com/chd/store-externe-festplatten/canvio/ says that STOR.E CANVIO needs 900mA
    The usual USB 2.0 standard provides 500mA
    So you need an USB Y cable to connect such HDD to two USB 2.0 ports

  • My external hard drive is not recognized by my computer.

    My external hard drive is not recognized by my computer. I used it earlier and it was fine however my computer froze and I unplugged my hard drive without properly ejecting it. Now when I plug it in nothing pops up. I've tried on three different computers and no luck. I hope this is fixable! Please help.

    Care to share which OS you are using?
    Repair permissions & restart your computer.

  • External hard drive is not recognized after attempt to format

    I just got a new macbook and couldn't use my external hard drive because it was formatted on a PC and only allowed me to read the data. I backed up the data on the 250gb hd and then used Disk Utility to erase the hd and format it as "Mac OS extended (journaled)." After beginning, Disk Utility stopped working and showed up as "not responding" in the Activity Monitor.
    Now the hd does not show up on the desktop and can only be seen in Disk Utility. If I try to erase again or partition the hd the utility stops responding. If I try to zero out the drive it continues to say "preparing to zero" indefinately. Now the hd is also not recognized by windows except in the windows disk utility, but it does not even give the option of formatting/initializing it, so that is not an option.
    Has anyone ever seen anything like this before, or have any idea of something that I haven't tried yet. I really want to get the drive working and have exhausted all the ideas I can come up with. The internet has not provided too many ideas either.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Black MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    I have crazy solution to format it to FAT 32, it work a couple times on my several MAxtor, and Western Digital HD. But this is the last resort and if you are not handy and familiar, don't do it.
    It happen on my external HD, so I crack the enclosure open, pulled the HD out and attached it as internal HD on a PC after adjusting the jumper to master and make sure no other HD attached to the motherboard. Make sure the motherboard detected (you can see it from bios menu).
    Insert a bootable installer disk before XP ('98, ME, or 2000), and start from there until a promt comes, and type fdisk and you delete the old partition and create a new partition and restart once using the disk still and format it using FAT 32.
    After that you put it back to the enclosure, and mount it to MacBook as a new HD with default factory format.
    If you don't have the installer disk, this might help :
    http://www.bootdisk.com/
    But if your maxtor still under warranty better talk to them first and they might willing to reformat it for you.
    Hope this help your external back and let you use it on your MacBook.

  • External Hard Drive suddenly not recognized

    I have a WD 500GB external hard drive that I use to back up my data. I only have one hard drive as I'm currently living abroad and couldn't bring a 2nd with me.
    I plugged in my external last night to back up my MacBook Pro and it backed everything up. I even went into Time Machine to go back and restore a file or two and that worked without problem. I have been using this drive for about a year to back up everything on my Mac and, although sensitive, it seems to work okay.
    I plugged it in this morning and nothing. My Mac will not recognize that the drive is not plugged in in Time Machine or in Finder. If I go to Apple Logo > About This Mac > More Info... > Storage tab, it just shows my internal hard drive and my CD/DVD drive. If I click on Disk Utility with the drive plugged in, it shows my Hard Drive (Macintosh HD) with two icons, one inset below the other and both in black font, and then my external hard drive has two underneath, but only the top one is black font - the one underneath is greyed out.
    It goes like this:
    250.06 GB Hitachi...
         Macintosh HD
    500.08 GB WD My Passport
         Time Machine Backups (greyed out)
    Superdrive (greyed out)
    When I clicked on the 500GB one and told it to repair/verify it said the disk was working fine. I tried unplugging and replugging in the drive (it is not recognized in Finder so I could not properly eject the disk). I restarted my Mac with it unplugged and plugged it in afterward and nothing.
    The HD itself is working, the light is blinking (not solid) and I can feel the hard drive spinning, but I'm at a loss as to what to do to get my Mac to recognize it again.
    Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Thank you!

    I also wanted to add, when I click on the greyed out Time Machine hard drive that's listed and then click "Info", this is what it says:
    Name : Time Machine Backups
    Type :           Partition
              Disk Identifier :           disk1s2

  • My external USB drive is not recognized by Win XP

    Hi!
    I have an external USB drive that is HTF+ formatted. It is not recognized by Windows XP. If I start the windows disk manager it gives me the option to initialize the drive. Do I dare to do this? Will it not erase the information on the drive?
    Thanks for any help!

    Hi Anders and welcome to Discussions,
    I have an external USB drive that is HTF+ formatted. It is not recognized by Windows XP. If I start the windows disk manager it gives me the option to initialize the drive. Do I dare to do this? Will it not erase the information on the drive?
    Yes it will !!
    Although with the BootCamp 3.0 Drivers (from the OSX Snow Leopard DVD) and the 3.1 Driver update (downloadable) Apple has introduced read-access to HFS+ partitions from Windows this feature seems to have some serious problems for some people.
    Personally I see this feature as "experimental" at the moment.
    XP itself knows nothing and therefor can not use/see HFS+ partitions and GPT (GUID partition table) harddisks.
    You might wanna have a look (or buy) at MacDrive http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive/ which right now is the better solution.
    Thanks for any help!

  • MSI UBO-30 External Slim Bluray Drive not recognized under Windows 8.1

    Hi, does anyone here have MSI UBO-30? It is an external bluray drive from MSI. For some reason the drive is not recognized under windows 8.1 64 bit (it just says USB device not recognized). But works fine if plugged into Windows 7 machine. Anyone encounter the same issue? 

    Try upgrading your usb 3.0 drivers on your system. That worked with My GS70 Stealth Pro...

  • Satellite C50-D - External Hard Drive is not recognized

    Have just purchased Satellite C50 D but cannot get it to read or recognise my LaCie hard drive.
    As this has all the data from my previous computer it is rather important. Can anyone provide help and guidance as to how to a) read the drive or b) transfer all the data onto the laptop memory
    Many thanks
    A:-)

    Hi
    The notebook supports 1 USB 3.0 port and 2 USB 2.0 ports.
    I recommend you to connect the external HDD to each port (USB2.0 and USB3.0) just to check if its not compatibility problem. But usually it should not be a big problem to connect an external USB 2.0 device to an USB 3.0 port.
    However, it could be also possible that this external HDD needs more than usual 500mA power provided by one USB 2.0 port. In such case you should use an USB Y cable to connect the HDD to two USB ports.

  • My external hard drive is not recognized

    I have the apple external disk drive.  I have used it numerous times.  I just plugged it in and the computer is not recognizing it.  I have tried both USB ports.  How can I fix this?

    A: USB desktop or 2.5" port powered?
    B: did you just install mavericks
    C:  DOES IT show in disk utility?
    Can you confirm it on another Mac?
    Apple doesnt make HD, what HD is it marked as?
    Likely its a dead SATA bridge card, a very very common problem with USB and external HD
    see here:
    Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD
    report back with more info

  • External HDD with Partitions not functioning in Yosemite

    I was part of the Public Beta for Yosemite and didn't have any issues. But since upgraded to the full version of Yosemite, by external HDD with 2 partitions (one for files and one for Time Machine) has been acting strangely. I can still access (read/write) the partitions with my files on. But the Time Machine Partition doesn't mount and is greyed out in Disk Utility. I have tried to repair, erase, reformat the drive but none of these options work because it says that it can't access the drive (because it won't mount). I don't have access to a non-Yosemite Mac at the moment, but even so, I still need to use the HDD on my Yosemite Mac. Any suggestions?

    I had exactly the same problem after installing Yosemite.  Had the drive checked out by a local PC repair company who could not find anything wrong with the HD (Segate) but suggested I checkout the warrantee.  I tried using the Apple disk verification and repair tools - hopeless.  So I returned the drive to Seagate who replaced it with another "re-certified" drive.  I was not comfortable with using this as it had (in theory) failed; so might another second hand unit. So I bought a new Western Digital which does the job.  No changes to the operating system needed.
    This leave me with a strange taste in my mouth! 
    Was the original drive faulty or not (Seagate didn't tell me what was they simply replaced it)?
    Did Yosemite trash the dish - I will never know?
    Why did the WD HD work and not the Seagate?
    Life is too short - I moved on - but it did cost me over £100 to restore my backup facility for no apparent reason.
    PS the Seagate replacement is now used for backing up a laptop - OS Windows Vista - no problems...........
